Kristy is ambassador for the organisation Mercy Ships. Mercy Ships is an international charity. Mercy Ships currently operates the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the
world, providing humanitarian aid like free health care, community development projects, community health education, mental health programs, agriculture projects, and palliative care
for terminally ill patients.

Mercy Ships has operated in more than 57 developing nations and 18 developed nations around the world, with a current focus on the countries of Africa.

The organization has its International Support Center (ISC) in Garden Valley, Texas. Mercy Ships also has 16 national resource offices in countries that
include Spain, Britain, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, South
Africa, Australia, France, Korea, Denmark, Belgium, New Zealand, Sweden and Norway.

Because Kristy has suffered times of severe illnes, multiple heavy operations and having an ileostomy, she knows what it means to have acces to good medical care. When Kristy realized that if
she had been born in africa, she would have died already cause she wouldn't have acces to good medical care, she was determined to spread the name of mercy ships and tell anywhere she can
about the good work of mercy ships..
